I posted this during the first Reddit exodus, I don’t make many memes so I think it’s time I dusted it off.

      Agree completely! Star Trek V is fun if you don’t take the main story too seriously.

        Does it confirm that or does it confirm that there’s an alien claiming to be god who isn’t?

        Because I’m an atheist and it seemed to me like the latter.

            Right, but that doesn’t mean it’s the monotheistic god of humans. And the movie took very great care to say it wasn’t. It was a god Sybok believed in.

            I’d have liked it to be an atheistic movie, but it was not.

                You’re essentially saying that he didn’t have to say who he was to be who you want him to be because he says he has a lot of forms and looked human. Thor appeared human. Zeus appeared human. Why couldn’t he have been appearing as Zeus? Or as a god in any of the many planets that had people who looked exactly like humans on them?

                Memory Alpha always puts god in quotes. I usually defer to their judgment because they do a hell of a lot of research.
